Just a response to the nonsense people saying: Nazism = National Socialism = therefore socialism

This is a combination of a loss in translation thing and people just completely ignoring history.

* Socialism is a leftist economic system that advocates for workers to control their own means of production.
* Nazism is not a form of socialism, but rather a form of extreme fascism, and is a far right totalitarian ideology that advocates the superiority of the Aryan master race and employs extremist nationalistic Social Darwinism to justify the enslavement and extermination of genetic unwanteds. The driving motivation is that through the mastery of the Aryans, economic and cultural prosperity would come to the third German Dominion.

It is a myth that Nazism took its name from socialism. The German Nationalsozialismus is named for the ideology of Staatssozialismus, a right-wing anti-socialist ideology devised by Bismarck in order to protect/preserve the capitalist order and outlawed many of the elements and methods of socialism and social democracy alike (including things such as outlawing pro-socialist publications, banning unions, and banning socialist symbols; the SPD was all but banned). Nazism, as stated above, evolved into a different, and far more sinister (and antisemitic), ideology.

So can captalism.

Look at Trump, he doesnt fear the law in the US anymore, he thinks himself above the law,
and basically proves it by being able to break it and get away with it.

Trump is useing populism & nationalism, and racism, to win elections.
He keeps a book on hilters speeches by his bedside (said his ex-wife).
He mirrors alot of slogan and talking points Hilter did.... and he won the presidency.

Hes managed to replace alot of the people, who are in place, as safety guards to put a check on a presidents powers.
With alot of "yes people" that'll just nod at everything he does.

Is the US about to become a facist dictatorship?
I dont think so, yet.... however its strikeing the parrallels to hilter, and the america people, much like the germans at the time, dont see the danger.

"Government funded health systems in themselves are a good thing for the people, as long as the overarching economy remains capitalistic. This kind of system is very costly, however, and it cannot be sustained without heavy taxation."

The USA spends more on health, than nations that do have "goverment funded health systems".
You guys already use enough money on healthcare, you could give everyone in the US such and save money doing so.
Are you guys currently under "heavy taxation" ?  You just have a very ineffecient and expensive health care system.

The question remains then? why is it so expensive and ineffecient in the US?
Maybe theres a better solution? that say... other nations used that works better?

I'm actually from Finland, so I know what I'm talking about. I don't know about you guys in Denmark, but at least we over here have pretty hefty taxation across the board and still our bloated welfare costs seem to be dependent on constantly taking on more public debt. *this part is factually untrue.

It's interesting, because you're going to get blasted by both socialists and capitalists with this statement. The US is not socialist, yes, it benefits rich people. but that's what capitalism does, it's an inherently unequal economic situation. I don't see how a stateless capitalist system would ever happen because the state uses laws and a police force/military to maintain legitimacy.

Sorry for the triple post but this comic sums up the the issue regarding socialism for many US citizens.

I don't know about the Christian Lucifer but the Islamic Shaytan(The Broken One) or Azazeel, as was his name, is a lesson in humility. He was born out of special fire as all djinns were and he prayed so much that he attained special rank among the top angels.

But when God created Adam and told all angels to bow down, Azazeel refused because he was made of fire and Adam clay so why would fire bow down to clay? He refused God's command out of pure arrogance and he never repented or try to make amends. Instead he asked God to make him stat alive until Judgement Day so he can keep leading humans astray as a way to show how inferior they are and how easily they can be persuaded to do evil. He accepted rotting in the deepest pits of hell for that.

In islamic values, arrogance is such a big sin that it;s held contrary to faith itself aka its opposite. That's the lesson to be learnt from Satan. The biggest sin after associating partners with God is arrogance itself. 

It's one of the most important lessons in Islam as to how humans should behave. The best humans and Muslims are humble, and don't boast nor do they think themselves better than everyone else. Even if you don't believe in Islam, you can still learn from the story of Satan and not repeat his mistakes because arrogance is such an ugly thing and can destroy the best of creation. Everything we build up for our entire existence can get ruined by arrogance
